[QUOTE="jmden, post: 1027180, member: 1742"] The first gen 300g Berger, at certain twists and/or at certain speeds (some had issues at speeds that a 338 LAI could spit 'em out at--the regular 338 Lap and EDGE didn't seem to have the problem as I recall) were believed by many, including Bryan Litz, to have developed 'nose slump', where the forward portion of the ogive would lose structrual integrity at certain twists/speed combinations and exhibit very poor grouping. Some bullets would fly true while others would veer off course, so to speak. This issue was corrrected with the 300 OTM, I believe, and I haven't heard of it with the 300EH either. I've never noticed it in my 338 AX (LAI) with the OTM or EH. At the time, the problem seemed like it could be exacerbated further with the more powerful 338 Allen Magnum (AM) (Cheytac case) and the like, of course, spitting them out much faster. In fact, and I'm a little fuzzy here, those first gens may not have worked basically at all with the likes of the 338 AM. [/QUOTE]
